Don't forget to change the blinker fluid and rotate the spark plugs.LOL

Hmmm, I see a Kilby Enterprises "belly-pan" skid plate in your future.

At your mileage, I'd start with the timing belt, water pump & serpentine belt.

The stuff I had done at 118K cost me $1800. The labor and parts were about $900 each.

I appreciate the input and the fact that all the work will total over my available funds I am trying to decide the best bang for my buck. Would you do bearings, f and r diffs and the x-case OR replace timing belt and water pump? I'm good on the blinker fluid, but thanks. Unfortunately I stopped by the shop to get the muffler replaced and found out that the flex pipe is cracked.They were going to do the muffler for $45 (I already have the muffler) but now they are unable to locate a replacement flex pipe.

1- timing belt and water pump
2- serpentine belt
3- f/r diff fluids, x-case fluids
4- wheel bearings

Are you serious?
I'd be awfully skeptical of any shop that couldn't find a new flex pipe.

I've seen em' in Auto Zone, O'Reillies, & other parts stores.

Summit Racing has em' in their online catalog.

Ask these guys if they can find their own @$$ if they use both hands...
